looping over json response in classic asp - json

Question

SO I am making a rest request to the JIRA API and getting a json response that includes all objects.
my request look like this:
Set restReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0")
restReq.open "GET", "URI",False
restReq.setRequestHeader "Authorization","Basic{user:Password}"
restReq.setOption SXH_OPTION_IGNORE_SERVER_SSL_CERT_ERROR_FLAGS,SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS
restReq.send("")
'response.write(restReq.responseText)
the response.write looks like this (but much longer):
[{"self":"https://JIRA:8343/rest/api/2/project/CT","id":"10004","key":"CT","name":"Core Technologies"}},
{"self":"https://JIRA:8343/rest/api/2/project/CTCCG","id":"10006","key":"CTCCG","name":"CT CCG"}}]
I would like to be able to loop through the response and use the "id", "key" and "name" in an unordered list. I can create a ul, but how do I extract the information I need from the json?

You check this question relating to using the Gson library. It is very small, quick and easy to use to convert between JSON to Objects.
import java.io.FileReader;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
Gson gson = new Gson();
TypeDTO[] myTypes = gson.fromJson(new FileReader("D:\\temp\\inputjson.txt"), TypeDTO[].class);
for (int i = 0; i < myTypes.length; ++i)
System.out.println(myTypes[i].self);
}
class TypeDTO
{
String self;
String id;
String key;
String name;
}
}
inputjson.txt had
[{"self":"https://JIRA:8343/rest/api/2/project/CT","id":"10004","key":"CT","name":"Core Technologies"},
{"self":"https://JIRA:8343/rest/api/2/project/CTCCG","id":"10006","key":"CTCCG","name":"CT CCG"}]
note the absence of addtional } when compared to yours at the end of each line.
